Grow box design

i`am building a grow box 4x4x7 will be growing in dirt with 4 gallon planter under a 600 watt mh/hps. will be growing 6 lemon skunk plants,and will veg them untill they are 30 inchs tall then will switch to 12/12 budding... with what i just described will my light be enough if so how much taller will my plants get when i start to bud them at 30 inchs will i have enough room as far as height goes.... p.s. : i figured that if i started budding at 30 inchs the plants would only grow another foot & half two tops that should give me about a foot or so heigth wise... or am i just way off on how much they will grow after budding starts... PLEASE HELP!!! OW YEA ALMOST FORGOT HOW MUSH WILL A 5 FOOT TO 6 FOOT PLANT PRODUCE..

Plenty of Light

If so how much taller will my plants get when i start to bud them at 30 inchs will i have enough room as far as height goes.... p.s. :

Good chance they will double in size, depending on the strain

i figured that if i started budding at 30 inchs the plants would only grow another foot & half two tops that should give me about a foot or so heigth wise... or am i just way off on how much they will grow after budding starts... PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a 3 X 4 X 7 grow box, with the top foot for ballast and exhaust fans so really on 6 feet tall inside. 400 watt MH/HPS

I wouldn't worry to much about the height as you can always top them or train them. But, you will be worried about crowding when you flower.

Good Luck, I'm sure you'll do fine

Depending on the grow - easy 2 oz, could be 3 oz - if you are really good maybe 4 oz a plant.

But the question should have been how much can you get off a 4 foot plant

they are going to be lemon skunk plants and i saw on the description from the seed bank that they reach two meters tall thats 6`6inchs isnt it and would produce 16 oz`s so why is it that you would only get 2 or 3 oz`s off of one plant. realy dont know just what information i `v been gathering... anyway here that lemon skunk produces alot so and taste great plus love skunk so thought that it would make a great choice...

To get a pound dry out of a plant you would probably need 1000 watts per plant and only 1 plant that size would fill your box. 6 1/2 feet is just not realistic.
